“Our constitution does not copy the laws of neighboring states; we are rather a pattern to others.  Its administration favors the many instead of the few; this is why it is called a democracy. If we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all…class considerations not being allowed to interfere with merit; nor again does poverty bar the way. The freedom which we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life.  We do not feel called upon to be angry with our neighbor for doing what he likes… But all this ease in our private relations does not make us lawless as citizens.  Against this fear is our chief safeguard, teaching us to obey the magistrates and the laws, particularly such as regard the protection of the injured, cannot be broken without acknowledged disgrace…Source: Pericles, “The Funeral Oration,” 432 BCE Questions: 1.

Source: “Just War Theory and The Russia-Ukraine War.”  Jeff McMahan There is no credible understanding of a just war according to which the Russian war against Ukraine is a just war. It is a wholly unprovoked war of aggression intended by those who initiated it – primarily Putin – to conquer Ukraine, annex its territory, and assimilate (absorb) its population. The motives of the war’s planners are various but some stand out as obvious and dominant. One is to expand the Russian empire until it is at least coextensive (equal) with its earlier boundaries under the tsars and the post-revolutionary Soviet dictators.  Many of the states that were ruled by Soviet regimes during the Cold War have been adopting more and more elements of Western culture, in particular liberalism and democracy. Ukraine was an economically flourishing democracy that Russia had repeatedly ravaged in the past – a state that would be an example, highly visible to Russians, of an appealing alternative to Putin’s tyrannical “kleptocracy.” ( a government system where leaders abuse power and use state resources for personal wealth, draining public funds for private gain.)
